Great ideas have been shared throughout the ages in the form of quotes. They are passed down though verbal history, books, magazines, and now the Internet.

In June of 2009 some wonderful people started sharing their personal and original ideas as quotes on Twitter followed by #BeOriginal. By May of 2011 the #BeOriginal hashtag became very popular across Twitter, but the true meaning of #BeOriginal became lost in the noise of the stream. So we’ve simply moved to #BeOriginal2 so that again original ideas can come shining through. The best quotes from #BeOriginal and #BeOriginal2 are captured here by category and by the time in which they were shared. This blog is for collecting them so that they too can be passed down.
